PBL Insurance Ltd., understands the need to protect ones professional status. For a number of years it has offered policies to protect Dentists and Physicians & Surgeons from regulatory and criminal matters, which have been highly successful. Working with Lloyd's of London, PBL is now able to provide a NEW Legal Expense Insurance program for all regulated healthcare professionals in Canada, at a truly affordable premium. The program covers the key needs identified by such professionals.

As a healthcare professional, you may be faced with the possibility of becoming involved in legal disputes. You may be called upon to respond to a complaint made to your regulatory body or even be faced with an investigation of your billing procedures. If you find yourself facing these issues, the last thing you need to worry about is the significant expense associated with engaging legal counsel.

Coverage for legal fees and disbursements when you require representation by a lawyer.
Unlimited access to a lawyer via a toll-free Telephone Legal Advisory Service during regular business hours (with 24 hour-a-day access for emergencies).
This program is designed to give you the peace of mind knowing that you can obtain immediate legal assistance without worrying about the costs. When required, you will select your lawyer from a panel of legal firms who specialize in representing healthcare professionals. The legal fees of the lawyer you choose to represent you will be paid up to a maximum hourly rate of $275.
